I'm having a problem with my touchscreen that started happening yesterday after I flashed a new ROM. I flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.1, and on the lockscreen after the first boot is when it first started acting up. This youtube video shows exactly what my phone is doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIrmLOTiUZk
I've nand back to other roms that I've used in the past, and still the same issue. Superwiped and flashed different roms, and it would solve the problem for several hours, but the issue comes back. When the problem happens, a restart will solve the issue for maybe 15 minutes. It seems as if it's a hardware issue, but I don't get why rebooting/wiping and reflashing would solve the issue for a period of time. If anyone has any advice or the same issue with a fix, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*Idk if it matters, but I'm hboot 1.4, zagg invisishield screen protector on.
Also, the touchscreen issue only happens at the bottom center of the screen - where the lock ring is located.
Update: I nand backed to stock rom, no issues for about 24 hours, started happening again. Any thoughts anyone??
Might be a hardware issue. If it keeps occurring I'd suggest taking it in to be looked at. Or you could try reflashing your recovery and doing a full data wipe and flash a stock rooted rom and see if that helps. Hope it does. Good luck.

Thanks, I'll try reflashing my recovery tonight. It seems to be hardware related, but the temporary fix (data wipe and flash Rom) is what confuses me. I just hope I don't have to send it in and get a refurb with hboot 1.5.
Also, when I do super wipe, should it automatically boot into recovery? It just hangs on the white HTC screen, and I have to.pull the battery to get into recovery. And after I install a Rom, why does it keep my some of my same settings, like the wallpaper and ring volume, and not go to the defaults? I am he if the super wipe is actually doing its thing or not.
Well if your doing a super wipe and it still keeps some of your old settings of a prior rom then I'd suggest trying a different wipe method or redownloading the the super wipe zip, you might have gotton a bad download. As far as if it's supposed to boot right into recovery that I don't know because I don't use any wipe method but the recovery. It hs always worked for me. Try reflashing your recovery and wiping with just the recovery options. Wipe data "complete factory" ,cache and davlik-cache. Then try flashing a stock rooted rom. Or if that doesn't work try the official ruu.

Well it keeps your wallpaper because Google syncs it with your Google account. That's normal. But as for everything else, it sounds like a hardware issue.
I'm having the same problem on my HTC Flyer and flashing a new ROM or restoring an old backup won't fix it anymore.

I flashed twrp 1.1.1 over 1.0.3 and did a data wipe, cache and dalvik. Flashed a rom and so far so good. I'll see if I can go more than 24 hrs without an issue. If it's a hardware issue, I don't understand why flashing a new rom temporarily fixes the issue, and since the issue started right after I flashed a new rom. I'll continue to update on here and hopefully the reflashing of recovery helps - thanks laie.
Didn't know wallpaper was synced with google account - thanks gumby

I'm not sure what else to do. I suppose I'm stuck with contacting HTC about a repair. I've done a little bit of research and some people having similar problems have said that it could be a problem with the digitizer. But most explanations were very vague so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do.

Well you should be good to go. Post back in 24hrs with what's going on. Glad your running ok for now.

Phone was fine all last night and this morning. Early afternoon it started acting up a little bit. Nothing like it used to, but I notice when I set it down or shake the phone a little, it will trigger the issue. So it's more than likely hardware related. Does anyone know Sprint's policy on fixing a phone that is rooted? I am jw if I should revert back to s-on before I go to a Sprint store to have them look at it. I don't know if they check that or not. Usually the first thing they always do is make sure everything is up to date too. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.
I'm in the same boat. Touch screen freaking out, rebooting fixes it for a short time, then it does it again. I'm going to take it in to sprint today and first ask them if they care if it is rooted.

Please update us after you talk to Sprint. I am curious to what they say about you being rooted and what the problem may be. My phone has been running fine for awhile now. After I reflashed recovery, data wipe, flashed rom, it acted up for a short while about 12 hours later. It's been almost 24 hours since it last acted up and has been fine so far.
Rob, just wondering if you talked to Sprint yet?
Also, does anyone know if I should go back to 100% stock and S-on before bringing my phone into Sprint? They always seem to update everything, and if there is an update, they usually tell you that's the reason why your phone isn't working the way it should.
UPDATE:
I went back to 100% stock and S-ON following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053 Then I went into my Sprint store, told them about the issue, and the first thing they did was asked if I had reset the phone and they checked to see if there's any updates available. The phone started to act up again while they were looking it, luckily, because they have to replicate the issue before they can fix the problem. They said it was probably the screen and they were going to replace it. They had me come back an hour and half later, told me they tried replacing the screen and that wasn't it. They didn't know what was wrong, but concluded it was a bad phone. They replaced my phone with one that someone returned within their 30 days. It's not a refurb, but not a brand new one either. I had to pay $35 for the service charge for fixing my phone. I hope this helps anyone who's having the same issue.
Of course my replacement phone has hboot 1.5.
I have not been to sprint yet. I swapped batteries and it had not acted up since. Strange. I had already pulled the stock battery a bunch of times and it would be fine for a half hour or so, then flip out.
Maybe my battery was bad.

I have tried a few different batteries, and it didn't seem to matter. Maybe your situation is different. Hopefully that fixes your issue!
My issues have returned. Off to the sprint store!

Good luck! Did you revert back to stock and s-on? Or are you going to tell them you're rooted?
I think I'm going to just put a stock ROM on it and ask them first before I hand over the phone.
I got my Rezound last week and I'm loving it. Right now I'm running stock, however i will be rooting in the foreseeable future. However i noticed a couple of times when i had to Restart my phone that the recent OTA update would DL only to fail to install. I don't want the update as i've heard and seen it reduces battery life. Should i worry my phone is defective? a couple of more days so i can return it and get another one. Would that be wise? thoughts?
You haven't done anything to it? If you haven't just take it to the Verizon store and have them look at it. If they can't get the update on exchange it. There's no reason why it shouldn't accept the update if you haven't done anything afaik.

I've not done anything, still running full stock. That's what i was thinking, i don't want this to come back and bite me in the ass. Plus i still have the 14 days to bring it directly to verizon. thanks
I am exeriencing the same thing...happened several times; firmware downloads and nothing happens. I reboot and nothin. The phone is stock. The last time after rebooting, it showed a push air thing in the notificication, and when I clicked it nothin happened...oy.
When I check the status, it just shows a rescent date along with the description of the update...and nothing happens when I click check new.
I sorta want the update so I can get rid of the headphone jack noise...and I feel like if I go to a verizon store, not much will be accomplished...hmmmmm

I went to Verizon today and the guy was able to update my phone. I actually didn't want to but eh. I told him what he did and all he told me was "Check Update" and plug it in the to the charger *which is the way my phone had been when i tried updating* and it began to install.
Hmm still nothing happens when I click check new, tried with it charging and unplugged... Might pop into a store later and see what's up, phone keeps freezing on meh! Have any negative experiences from the update so far? I'm weary of that verizon agent thing running all the time

I had the same issue with the "check new" screen just disappearing when I was completely stock. I called verizon a couple days ago and they checked to make sure that I had tried to update with 4G, 3G, 4G w/ wireless, 3G w/ wireless. I had also tried doing a factory reset and pulling the SIM and battery out for 20 minutes. If all those dont work for you, they say you can either get a "certified like new" phone shipped to you or you can get on a 3way call with htc and verizon support to get the issue resolved. You might want to try those things and if still nothing I would call.
Ok, so here's the scoop.
Earlier today for no reason that I can pinpoint I lost all Cellular connectivity on my photon while at work. No calling, no 3G, etc. I figured it was just a hiccup or possibly that they where working on the towers in my area and that it would eventually just come back up.
That was over 12 hours ago, and I have already traveled from work, to home and still no change.
I began to think that maybe my PRL was out of date, so I flashed back to a blur based Rom that has worked for me in the past (I normally use CWM7.2 and moved to Imperium_Initiative_v1.0.5 to try and do this) and tried to initiate the update there.
Still, no results. Not only would the PRL & profile not update but I got a general "NETWORK_ERROR" every time I attempted to do so.
I'm getting a little desperate because I really need to have my phone active for work and other reasons.
I've already restored old NAND backups, restarted the phone numerous times, and so far nothing is working...
If it is indeed a PRL issue, is there a way to manually flash an updated version onto the phone?
Any help that anyone can offer is greatly appreciated!

P.S. The only major change that has been made to the phone recently was I purchased a new extended battery about a month back. It's been working great since I broke it in, and have no so much as flashed a new rom image since I got it. It's the Trexcell Motorola Photon 3570mah Extended Battery.
Well I decided to bite the bullet and do a full re-lock and stock re-flash and I now have gotten my signal back.
Still have no idea why it happened to begin with, but I have apparently solved my issue.
If anyone can give me a reason this might have happened then at least this topic can be of future use to someone else.

This happened to me once while on cm7, again, for no apparent reason. After being baffled for an hour i got pissed and went to bed thinking my radio died. Signal was back by morning. Id be willing to bet yours would have come back too. Pawn it off as a hiccup and keep flashin stuffs.

So I was looking to leave my Sprint contract (long story) and decided to sell my Evo 4g LTE to help pay off the massive contract-breaking bill. I'd had my phone rooted and running CM10 nightlies for quite a while without any sort of trouble.
So right before I put the phone on the market, I took out the SD card, and wiped everything using TWRP recovery. This included Cache/Dalvik/System/Factory reset and the only thing I did different, which was to wipe Internal and External storage.
After that, I flashed the latest CM10 nightly at the time (which was cm-10-20121008 at the time) and called it a day as I didn't want to put any of my info on the phone before I sold it.
Flash forward a couple of days, I sell the phone and almost immediately get a call back saying it has no sound at all.
The guy I sold it to tells me he even tried unrooting and flashing the stock ROM to no avail. I bought the phone back from him, and am trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with it.
Since then, I've discovered that not only is there no sound, although occasionally I will hear the buttons click, so I know the speaker hardware itself is fine, There is also no video playback at all, which makes me think this is some sort of software or firmware problem, though I can't tell where the problem lies.
I've tried installing different ROM's and the best I could get out of video was the Youtube app showing still images every couple of seconds, without any sound at all. I tried loading videos to the SD cards only to get a message saying "This video cannot be played" without any further reason.
I'm currently downloading the latest OTA stock ROM to see if I can restore it to Factory settings, but I'm lost as to what could possibly cause this strange behaviour.
Anybody ever encounter something similar? Any ideas what I could try next?
Alternatively, does anyone want a (mostly) working phone at a steep discount?

If you want it, an even $100 will do.
i have the exact same problem ive ran ruu and relocked and locked bootloader i have unrooted ive done everything and the problem still is there please someone help me
As the title suggests, suddenly I started getting force closes with com.android.phone when I'd receive a call. I immediately tried to call out, same story. I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours, and had no luck finding anything relevant on XDA or any other site.
Firstly I switched kernels, since I'd updated to DSB's latest, though I'd had no issues with it until then. That failed, so I reverted to Viper's stock build.prop, undoing some changed I'd been running for a while (and hadn't modified at all today).
With no luck there, I backed up my sdcard and did a full factory reset and formatted the sdcard in twrp and then in cwm, followed by a reinstall of the latest Viper ROM. Even that didn't work, so I relocked and RUU'd back. Twice. Same exact issue. I can text anyone just fine, data over LTE goes on as normal, but anytime I try to make a call, be it with the stock dialer or through a diff one from the play store (for kicks, last resort). I reseated the SIM card a multitude of times, to no avail. I get full functionality with my SIM in my other phone, so I'm sure it must be the hardware itself on the phone. Every time com.android.phone stops, the SIM initialization happens like when you physically re-seat the SIM.
The troubling thing is that I haven't done anything, save for a simple kernel and recovery update, which would've been negated by two RUU runs to stock. I haven't touched the SIM card or anything, at least until that started happening. Furthermore confusing is how all other functionality can remain except for actually making phone calls.
Removing the SIM entirely and dialing a number does the exact same thing, just as an FYI.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?
As I've unlocked my phone, my last resort is to go into a VZW store and act like an idiot so they don't check to see if i unlocked it. Further complicating that is the fact that the DNA was actually purchased on my own account, which I closed, and brought to an unlimited data line that was preexisting. I'm half tempted to wait for the official OTA and see if that will remedy the issue, but my fear is this may be a physical issue beyond the remedy of a firmware update.

Check this thread, me and another member faced the same problem. I can get 3g/2g data, sms and all other functions just right. Just no phonecalls, every time i make a call i get a crash of the app.
So, i am pretty sure this is a software bug. For god's sake, what a strange problem!Did your phone used to work right?
I bought my phone from ebay, did not check if phonecalls are working(i couldn't imagine such a bug) and went straight away to rooting/other kernels/roms etc. But can't find a solution too,tried everything as you, and the worst, i am overseas!!!
Is the update coming soon?
edit1: i have seen lots of threads about sim errors,a very common issue of DNA, i am believing that these two bugs have something in common. No hardware defect, just software bugs.

thanks for the thread, for the life of me i couldn't find anything exactly relating to what i described. that is spot on though, and def makes me feel a bit more at ease that maybe it can be resolved with an update to the firmware that's due soon.
yea, the funny thing is that it worked flawlessly, i never even got the SIM error message, i'd been texting my gf, a few friends, and my parents and then my pops called in the evening and it immediately closed out the call before it really even rang. i called him right back and that's when the force closes started happening, calls never working agian thereafter. however, i was able to still text everyone i was before and data was working flawlessly as always, just no calls, not even after all the crap i did to troubleshoot.
the update is hopefully going to be out soon. the support documents came out a few days ago. i def can't survive on this galaxy nexus after having used my DNA since launch!
I will wait for the update too, hopefully it will be uploaded today or tomorrow i think. But just because i can't get on the air update, i need to download from a server the update and install it on my own.
If anyone finds a solution or have an idea of what to look/do, please post here. I am pretty sure it is a software bug, something is stucking the application from working properly. The other solution is RMA, but it is a very difficult to send it back and get it back again.

Ok, I had the same exact issue. I was stock then went to viper Dna then tried going to hatka and soft bricked my phone. I went back to stock using the RUU. That's when I got the com. Android. Phone crash message. So I had to re unlock reboot and then flash viper Dna again. Everything works as it should now.
After saying all that I just got the new update from Verizon. I assume I shouldn't flash this since I'm on a custom rom.

Hi guys i got a similar problem. My DNA was perfect since yesterday but now i can use data connection for internet. All the other stuff is working fine....SMS,call, wifi, the only thing that is not working is the 3g data. All of this problem came when i flashed the viper DNA, so i flashed the supercharged hoping it was an issue of the rom. Olso with the supercharged the problem was always here.... So i decide to came back to stock and i re-lock my bootloader and flasched stock RUU. But data connection is still not working :crying:
can anyone please tell me what can i do?
Did you install patches 1.1.1& 1.1.2 from viper?They fix some gsm problems.

Has any one figured out this problem? I have not been able to received any phone calls since I did s-off. I have tried everything that has been wrote so with no luck. I have relocked my phone and flashed stock RUU no change. Unlocked and tried several roms still no calls. formatted everything under CWM not change. Fixed permissions. Went back and re-locked and reflashed stock RUU. I know that some of the things above have fixed others phones and some still have problems. I also found a script someone wrote lock my phone which now it says locked and flashed stock rom after that still have problem. Does anyone here here a idea that I have not already mentione above? I like my droid dna but if I can't get it to make and take calls it is a paperweight.:crying:
